Curriculum

‌As an institution of higher education, Loyola University Chicago takes seriously its obligation to society that our students graduate with a deep understanding of environmental issues, and their responsibilities to respond.

We see environmental issues as part of our Foundational Science Core Curriculum requirement, and reinforce the major principles across the curriculum. The Institute of Environmental Sustainability is a resource at the University to help define projects, course modules and lecture topics that are aligned with the University mission and goals of environmental sustainability. We maintain a list of ongoing projects that are well suited to course integration and student fellowship endeavors.

Recycle

Iggyslist is a free online classified ad feature with a green component, as well. Instead of throwing away unwanted office supplies, for instance, list them on Iggyslist so another student or department can reuse them. Students and employees can use Iggyslist to reduce their waste by looking for reused and affordable goods, limiting their paper use by posting online instead of on campus bulletin boards, and by sharing resources like carpools or services.
